The Armed American Citizen’s Creed

This is my pistol. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is a part of my life. I must master it as I master my life. Without my pistol I am useless. Without me my pistol is useless. I must fire my pistol true. I must shoot straighter than my attacker. I must shoot and stop him before he kills me. I will. My pistol and I know that what counts in a fight are not the rounds we shoot, the blast of our shots, or the flash of our fire. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.

As my pistol is a part of me, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn my pistol’s capabilities, limitations, parts, ammunition and its holster. I will keep my pistol always ready, even as I am always ready. My pistol is my constant companion. I will take care of my pistol and my pistol will provide me with the power to protect myself and others.

My pistol and I are the defenders of our family, our community, our Nation and the Constitution. We are the masters of evil doers. Together, we are the saviors of my life as God is the Savior of my soul.

So be it, until victory is ours and evil is conquered. Before God I swear this creed.
